But it isn't like the K03 turbo holds that high of a boost. It just holds it in the low rpms and then tapers off as the rpms get higher. By the time I got to 5k it had dropped to 10psi. The higher the boost you try to run the quicker it tapers off, this also means the power band gets smaller. This happens with just about any turbo you start pushing out of its effiency.


I know other people that have pushed the K03 that hard on their A4, dont know any that had the turbo or motor let go because of it. One of them blew up their transmission before the turbo/motor.

 

i read the noob guide, but iv only worked on muscle cars my whole life so i hav NO idea about anything concerning turbos, so can sum1 please xplain to me why BOV's are bad for audi's?

 

speaking of the noob guide, can sum1 send me the link to it again, i lost it

 

The noob guide is in the stickies at the top of the threads page.

The whole BOV/ DV debate centers on the fact that the car measures how much air is sucked into the system before being boosted, including any air that is recirculated by the DV back into the system. A BOV let's that air into the atmosphere instead, so suddenly there is air "missing" if that makes sense.

But, some people use a BOV or hybrid without any problems, some say their car just doesn't run right after installing a BOV. Personally, I think if it was designed with the DV, just stick with a DV...

 

yea that makes alot fo sense, thanks. kind of an abstract Q but i hav nvr been for a ride in an audi, just an old bmw once, but if u have been for a ride in a bmw you know how when u turn and u dont feel like ur turning... unlike most american cars... do u get this same kind of experience in an audi? i know weird Q but im sooooooo close 2 buying my 1st one!!!!!

 

Yes, you feel extremely stable. You still experience the G forces, Audi hasn't defied physics yet, but you are held in place and get this feeling of trust that your car will always remain planted on the turn.

 

^x2 with quattro. I love hitting a corner and gunning through it. I can feel the torque transfer to the rear wheels and push me through the turn...

 

Would a N75 Race be worth it if you already run a pc-16 file?..

 

It will just give you 2-3psi more then your stock N75 valve.

 

PC-16 file was FUN in my A4!
